15 year old driver caused school bus crash

A 15 year-old girl is in hospital after driving her mother's four wheel drive into a school bus in Bassendean this morning.

The teenager and her 14 year-old passenger drove through a stop sign at the intersection of Iolanthe and Scadden Streets, before colliding with a bus carrying students from the Australian Islamic College.

The driver of the bus, along with seven children aged between six and 13 years of age have been taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Police are still investigating the crash and whether charges will be laid against the teenage driver.

Hamad Alshawi says three of his children aged 13, 10 and 6 were on the bus and he can not believe they escaped with minor injuries.

"My daughter she called me crying and scared," he said.

"I couldn't believe it when I saw the bus and my children still ok, I couldn't believe it."
